a note offering TO marry the girl as soon as
he could get divorce from his wife, which

well-to-do business man of this city, who is
engaged to Miss Feack, called at Tho Bee

came to WhippIe's office and struck him.
Whipple had previously told the mother the
story of the filtration, in which there was
nothing criminal, and the appointment with

end to the foolish affair. Mrs. Feack la

They arose to leave the car as it approached
Thirty-ninth street, and the conductor
pulled the strap. Mr.. Beecher, who ap-
peared to be in vigorous health, did not wait
for the car to stop at the uptown cross
walk, but got of about the middle of
Thirty ninth street. He came dawn
hard on the heel of his right
foot. It was an awk kward step, and it
seemed as il Mr.. Beecher had hurt his ankle.
He pressed his right hand to his side for
moment, and then buttoned his overcoat
and pursued his way with Mrs Beecher

apoplexy developed slowly during Thursday

The Feeding Value of oats.

The better farm economy and the
feeding value OF farm crops are under
stood, the more oats will be appre-
ciated, and the larger will be their con-
sumption on the farm. The idea is
generally entertained that they are
not as profitable to raise as corn, and
hence are always made to take Sec
ondarv place. In the first place, let
us compare the cost of producing an
acre of oats and their value with corn.
1t is estimated that 81 per acre will
cover the cost of blowing, sowing, har-
vesting and stacking, including seed.
The straw, ifvalued by the amount of
fat and fesh-forming principles it con-
tains, is worth about half as much as
an equal quantity OF ordinary meadow
hay, or about one-third as much as the
same weight of corn. In other words,
if the product of oats straw be a ton
per acre, it is equivalent in feeding
value to half a ton OF meadow hay or
6e6 pounds NEARLY twelve bushels) OF
corn.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1887-01-26

The feeding value of any kind of food
is determined by chemical analysis,
which fixes the feeding value of g.
bushel OF oats at about two-thirds
that of bushel of corn. If, therefore,
q crop of corn be thirty-six bushels
per acre, it will require ton of oats
straw and thirty-six bushels of oats
to equal the feeding value of the
thirty-six bushels of corn. If the
product of corn be sixty bushels per
acre, it will require ton CT the oats
straw and seventy bushels of oats to
make feeding equivalent.
Again, there is difference of at
least So an acre in favor of the pro-
hduction of the oats, particularly if the
oats are cut early and fed in the sheaf,
no allowance being made for the corn
stalks, for which the oats stupble
makes full compensation by allowing
the land to be prepared so much
earlier for wheat. Chicago Herald.

SUNSET.
BY ELLEN ". CAREY.

The sunset falls on shore and stream,
The waves give back Its fash and CLEAN.
The boatman rests upon his oar,
The two float down the stream once more.
Shallow and rapid, all are gone,
The ripping stream flows smoothly on.
The little hands that at their side
Had dabbled in the flashing tide;
The little lips that for while
Had caused the furrowed cheeks to smile;
All, all are gone, and in the boat,
Together and alone they float.
The silver lies upon their hair,
But now they feel no fear nor care.
The pillows surge and tumult cease
Their boat rides on in perfect peace.
Their eyes turn backward up the stream,
Toward the mountains early gleam.
He sees the lovely maiden stand,
And reaches out to her his hand;
She sees youth come down the stream,
With ripple soft, and plash and gleam.
Yet when he views her silver hair,
He thinks that she has grown more falr.
The wrinkled hands and furrOwed brow
Seem like aweeter vision now.
And she forgets that he is DID,
While his strong hands her own enfold.
She says, ''I gave my life to you;
Never was Boatman half so true"
The rivers tide sweeps gently on,
The couple down the stream have gone.

FARM AND HOME.
What Might Have Been.


$50 many things there might have been,
Had our dear child not died;
We count them up and call them DER,
We weigh the less against the more,
The joy she never knew or shared,
The bitter woes forever spared,
The dangers turned aside
Heavens full security--and then,
Perplexed we sigh, all might have beenl
1--WE might have seen her sweet cheeks glow
With loves own happy bloom;
Her eyes with maiden gladness full,
Finding the whole world beautiful.
We might have seen the iOyanCe fail,
The dear face sadden and grow pale,
The smile fade into gloom;
Loves sun grow dim and sink again
Either of these 1t might have beenl
1--WE might have seen her with the crown
Of wifehood on her head
A queen OF homes fair sovereignties,
With little children at her knees;
Or broken hearted and alone,
Bereft and widowed of her own,
Mourning beside her dead;
This thing or that, beyond our ken,
It might have been it might have been!
"There is no need of questions now
No doubts or risks. or fears;
Safe folded in the Eternal care,
Grown fa1rer each day and more fair,
With radiance in the clear young eyes
Which, cool in depths of Paradise,
Look without stain OF tears,
Reading the Lords intent and then
Smiling to think what might have been.
"We too will smile, oh, dearest child
Our dull souls may not know
The deep things hidden from mortal sense
Which find their heavenly confidence;
On this one sure thought we can rest,
That God has chosen for thee best,
Or else 1t were not So
He called thee back to Heaven again,
Because He knew what might have BEEN"
-EIchan1e.
